Bought my first Vette, a 95 back in 02, and I still have my permagrin!

BTW, you'll want to check out the "Gold Tour" late Saturday. One year there was almost 3000 Vettes making the drive. We pulled out near the front of the line, and the last cars were just leaving the staging area as we were returning! See the EVENTS calandar for details and a map, etc.

The ZR-1s are going to be featured in the "Gold Club" this year. Some have never seen a Z, and this would be a chance to see several!

See ya there!

True that. It's gonna be a ZR-1 weekend.
Retired Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McLellan, the father of the ZR-1, is being inducted into the Great Hall Friday evening along with Jerry Burton, who was editor of Corvette Quarterly in the '90s. I think McLellan is bringing his personal ZR-1.

Sadly not gonna be able to make it this year. Got the vette too late in the season to make it. Next year I am going to be there. My co-worker Paul and his C3 will be there all weekend.

Anyone want to meet Saturday at 1PM for a group photo? We could meet at the East entrance to the Gold Field right next to the first car that is parked by that entrance gate.
I volunteer my camera.

The Road Tour (cruise) is definitely on for Saturday.

Glad to see so many forum vette folks planning to attend.
Hope for great weather and a great show again this year!

Speaking of next year - where is a good place to stay in that area? Champaign, IL - right?
